Bayern blocked my loan move to Liverpool - Mario Gomez
-
Striker was in favour of move to Merseyside...
Mario Gomez has claimed that Bayern Munich blocked a deadline day loan move to Liverpool.
The Germany international made a move to the Bavarian club from Stuttgart last year, for a fee believed to be in the region of £26.3 million. But the forward was unable to hold down a regular starting role following his switch, and had been linked with moves to a clutch of clubs this summer.
The Reds have been on the lookout for a striker to bolster their attack, as they have been heavily reliant on Fernando Torres in the recent past. And the 25-year-old maintains that a move to Merseyside was on the cards, only for Bayern to use their veto power and keep him at the Allianz Arena.
"I have said that if I leave Bayern I will go abroad," Gomez told Bild.
"Then came this interesting offer from Liverpool. I took the loan offer seriously and discussed it with my family and girlfriend because I just want to play.
"But Bayern gave me the impression that they see a future for me. And therefore a change was not an issue anymore." -
